Burdette on the Bill.

brOOkIyu EaRle.
There is a neat Latin phrase that would make
q scholarly title for this paragraph, but some ig-
norant beggar always runs away with the die
tionary when we want to be classical But
what we want to say is this; about the inter-
state-commerce bill, for instance. After read
ing few thousand comments on the same from
all sections of the country. we are firmly con-
WINGED that it will make freight rates higher;
that it will increase the price of passenger tick
cts; that it will abolish Communication tickets
that it will call in all free passes that it will in
crease the running expenses of the railroads;
that it will bankrupt the Western farmers and
shippers; that it will ruin the Eastern mer-
chants; that many railroads can't run at all
under it; that all others will run at great loss;
and that nobody afford to travel under it.
We are therefore convinced that anarchy, chaos
and the bill are coming along hand in hand, or
rather would be but for one thing-we never
knew a bill for the regulation of railroads that a
blind man couldn't throw herd of bulls through
Don't worry about the interstate bill; the COM
missioners will get their salaries all right and
regularly.

When the railroad systems are tired the COM
faerce Of the country lies down. All this great
system was not established without the employ
ment of intelligence and patriotism. Wherever
a railroad was established there was demand
for it: wherever the demand exists the railroad
will follow without unnecessary delay.
"Now, what should have been done, and would
have been sufficient for the day, was the enact
ment of a law establishing an incipient Judiciary
"a system of courts that would have jurisdiction
over railroad affairs as the district courts have
la maritime matters At first the courts should
have been given Only the powers OF q commission.
with power to enforce its subpenas; to send for
persons and papers; to require reports from rail-
roads in forms prescribed by the commission; to
publish tariffs and collect statistics and gener-
ally TO prepare themselves to report and recon-
mend to Congress at theend of two years or so
such legislation as their judicial inquiries and
conclusions would suggest Then it would have
been time enough to clothe the commission with
COMPLETE judicial powers. Legislative and judi
cial functions of government should never be con-
ferred upon one man or body OF me1. Inere
was no urgency in the demand for the
long and short haul and antipool-
ing provisions of this law that could
not readily nave endured reasonable delay for
purposes OF inquiry and consideration, so that
the law when enacted would appear in form
that would endure the test of application. As 1t
Is it appears to me that those who most insisted
upon the law are the first to condemn 1t and
plead for the suspension of its most salient pro-
Visions. Ihere was no Danger or Increased rates.
The country was already enjoying the best IA
elities for transportation of all the nations Of
the earth at the lowest charges therefor obtain
ing. and there was no prospect that the continu-
GUS decrease in these charges was ABOUT to be
arrested. But the amateur railroad manipulation
was abroad in the land and this law is the re-
suit.
II do not think the gentlemen of the Inter
state-commerce Commission are likely to arbi-
trariy enforce any provisions of the law that
may be found injurious to the commerce of the
country. Indeed, their action in suspending the
provisions complained of by certain Southern
railroad interests indicates an intention to act
only upon well digested consideration of all the
interests affected by the law. The law is not
without it's advantageous features. and, alto
gether, cannot restrain the conviction that 1t
Is step in the right direction, though crude
withal Out Of it may ultimately issue that
provision of law which the commerce Of the
country calls for, and under which all affected
interests may find mutual protection and mutual
prosperty.v

Physician. Have Found Out.

That contaminating and foreign ele- ment in the blood, developed by indi- gestion, IS the cause of rheumatism This settles upon the sensitive sub-cutan- eous covering of the muscles and liga- men.s of the joints, causing constant and shifting pain, and aggregating as a cal careous, chalky deposit which produces stiffness and distortion of the joints. No fact which experience has demon strated in regard to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has stronger evidence to support than this, namely that this medicine of comprehensive uses checks the formid- able and atrocious disease, nor is it less positively established that it is preferable to the poisons often used to arrest it, since the medicine contains only salutary ingredients. It is also signal remedy for malarial levers, constipation, dyspep- sia, kidney and bladder ailments, debility and other disorders. See that you gel the genuine.

 The Mammoth Go. have closed their boarding house at the mill and the em- ployes are now luxuriating on Mrs. Der tie Burchs good grub.

Jack gets thar every time.
 There is not much known but the gen. eral impression is that the mine and mill are about sold. Then look out for a fiourishing camp. Ip the mine IS plenty of ore, all that is needed is 100 stamps and the corresponding increase in men to make things hum here.
 Ezekiels 6 Sower are erecting new l corral for the company. and numerous other improvements are going on. Frank
 Schultz, is building a new dwelling on
 his ranch adjoining the mill site.

Cattle win Rally.

In touching upon the future of cattle the Denver Republican says:
 ''The persistent decline in the price of cattle is indeed discouraging to our stockmen. But it does not, it can not mean permanent disaster. The cattle boom of few years ago largely increased prod uction not on the range merely but much more so on the farms throughout the country at time when the consump tion was declining owing to the hard times. This leak at both ends of the situation could not result otherwise than q collapse of the business.
 "But the opposite process IS now at at work. The collapse is rapidly decreas- | ing production. The revival of prosper ity all over the country is increasing con sumption. Meat is thing people can largely do without when pinched by pow erty. In some countries the toiling masses do not enjoy taste of it oftener than once week. People begin retrencl . ing in the use of meat not only by ab- staining but by substituting the poorer cuts. This amounts 10 direct decrease of consumption. For when better cuts are in demand they must be supplied ev- en if the prices has to justify throwing away the inferior parts of the beef. The next step is to do without meat at one time then two, and then perhaps finally al three meals. In this way the consump- tion is cut down more or less in a major ity of families. But the first result of the revival is an in increased demand fol meat. If it can be dispensed with on a pinch it certainly is wanted above al other things when the money to buy i
 to be had.
 "A continuance of the present condi tion of affairs for year or two longer car not fail to cause general and perma nent rise in the value of cattle
 We had similar situation seven O eight years ago. Every thing Was pros porous except the cattle business. Bu t all at once the tables are turned. Ever, B thing except cattle was dull. This situa
 tion swelled the cattle boom into abnor maj proportions, the necessary reaction
 from which is now being suffered.

PARTIES coming from the east tell us that the trains leaving Deming for the west are provided with agents from sev- eral portions of southern California, who distribute pamphlets and circulars set ting forth the glories and advantages the land of gold offers to immigrants, and they also give personal answers to such interrogations as may be made. The traveller thus receives the impression that the bright and cheerful picture con- veys, and he hastens impatiently onward through the unknown land of Apaches and cactus eager to obtain paradisaical home there before all the opportunities are gone. The know nothing of the real pearls they are passing over in their search for the imitation, and although they have journeyed the entire breadth of our Territory they learn nothing of it's beauties, its advantages and its prospects. We must awaken to little enterprise ourselves to change this current of i'm. migration if we would enjoy portion of its benefits.
